Seaweed loads cause stronger bacterial community shifts in coastal lagoon sediments than nutrient loads [PDF]
, 2019 The input of nutrients from anthropogenic sources is the leading cause of coastal eutrophication and is usually coupled with algal/seaweed blooms. Effects may be magnified in semi-enclosed systems, such as highly productive coastal lagoon ecosystems ...

Structural and molecular basis for the substrate positioning mechanism of a new PL7 subfamily alginate lyase from the Arctic [PDF]
, 2020 Alginate lyases play important roles in alginate degradation in the ocean. Although a large number of alginate lyases have been characterized, little is yet known about those in extremely cold polar environments, which may have unique mechanisms for ...

Microstructural and carbohydrate compositional changes induced by enzymatic saccharification of green seaweed from West Africa [PDF]
, 2020 The use of marine macroalgae as carbon source for fermentation is gaining increasing attention due to their high carbohydrate content and availability. Three green seaweed species Chaetomorpha linum, Ulva fasciata and Caulerpa taxifolia were investigated

, 2017 Abstract: Ulvan is one of the key sulfated polysaccharide components constituting the cell walls of green algae, Ulva. A little study has been performed so far on the ulvan degrading bacterial enzymes. In order to utilize ulvan effectively by breaking down to oligosaccharides and monosaccharide, we have studied ulvan-degrading bacterial enzymes.

The human gut microbe Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron encodes the founding member of a novel glycosaminoglycan-degrading polysaccharide lyase family PL29 [PDF]
, 2018 Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and GAG-degrading enzymes have wide-ranging applications in the medical and biotechnological industries. The former are also an important nutrient source for select species of the human gut microbiota (HGM), a key player in host–

Effects of geographical location on potentially valuable components in Ulva intestinalis sampled along the Swedish coast [PDF]
, 2020 Macroalgal biomass has the potential to become an important source of chemicals and commodities in a future biorefinery. Currently, production of macroalgal biomass is expensive and the content of high-value compounds is often low.

Evaluating Swedish seaweeds for biorefinery [PDF]
, 2020 A sustainable future demands a transition from oil to biomass to produce fuels, chemicals, commodities, and energy. However, to generate the predicted amount of bioenergy required by 2050, all the biomass harvested today should be utilized.
